Electropop: it's not all gaga



People claim gaga started the current craze of vocoder dense laptop generated material. However this isn't the case Cher in 1998 she released do you believe in life after love with it's innovative autotune. Though it didn't have a youtube music video like the lady's telephone. It was the best club hit she has had in years. What may have started this fad is Britney,Gwen Stefani,and Christina Aquilera's albums in the mid 00's. Listen to that music the sound is similar but not the same as the FAME. Despite it's uninnovative music genre Miss germanotta tkes the cake in songwriting especially in Pokerface. It just makes sense Katy perry,miley cyrus,and even Xtina herself is emulating her work.
